GARDEN TIPS

POT POURRI

Make your own Pot Pourri using flowers grown in your garden.

On a warm day collect rose petals, honeysuckle, lavender, rosemary and any other highly scented flowers that you have in the garden.

Put these petals on a tray and cover with salt. Turn daily until dry - which usually takes about 14 days.

Alternatively you can use a food dehydrator to dry the petals.

Put into jars with 1 ounce of mixed spice, shake well and your Pot Pourri is ready to use
